When dimensioning(AutoCad) slotted holes with full radius ends?
Likewise I am unsure what you are asking for. The way to dimension a slot might vary from one office to another. The most common is to dimension to the general centerlines that locate the slot and show any orientation other than perpendicular, then “note” the length & width while assuming that the radius will always be half the width. For example, the note might say “Slot 1″ x 3/8″ – 10X” This means that the total length is 1 inch, regardless of the centers, and the radii will be 3/16 inch. Whether it is made with a 3/8 drill or a 3/8 end mill depends on the manufacturing process used. “10X” means duplicate that slot in 10 places as shown. More detail is only required if the slot has an irregular shape, like a curved slot for a cam follower. That said, if you are designing for a CNC machine you might only locate the two centers of the ends and show the width or diameter of the tool that cuts it. So, it depends on the shop you are working with.
